I was waiting to post my comments after seeing kovalev play for a few weeks. I have to admit I was hoping against hope that he would work out. After the trade was announced I thought to myself man did we not learn anything the last couple of seasons when we signed Mckay, Chow etc. then I thought maybe kovy would be different. Well, I've seen enough. We traded one of our top prospects and a second round draft choice for this? What a waste of a uniform, I bet they don't even need to wash his sweater after he plays a game. Why could we not of picked up a Bondra, Leetch or someone with some passion.

I think we were starting on a roll and now we are going down the tank, this is not just because of Kovy but a complete lack of team effort and concentration.
